Heart meets art
Manila Bulletin
|July 19 2025
As a good neighbor, I was happy to be invited to the Heart Center for its golden anniversary celebration and inauguration of their Imelda R. Marcos Pavilion last week. Our house is 10 years older than the hospital, one of the best, if not the best hereabouts, if I believe members of my immediate family and friends who have been its patients over the years.
Generally, and due to my own private superstition, I don’t like stepping into a hospital; I’d rather send flowers to a patient than infect them with my smiles and well-wishes. But the Heart Center has been good to its neighbors — no electric and water service interruptions as we’re in a hospital zone, plus first-person accounts by satisfied, healthy-looking ex-patients extolling the virtues of a “young and competent” staff of doctors, nurses, chemists, attendants, etc.
